Sharon Nelson and John Simek have been giving CLEs on the Future of Law Practice for more than a decade. COVID-19 changed, in many ways, how lawyers practice law. This presentation will give you a data-driven look at the sea changes in law practice and a glimpse of what is likely on the horizon.

In October 2020, Clio's Legal Trends Report was officially released in conjunction with the Clio Cloud Conference 2020.  Clio CEO said that, after the pandemic hit, we moved ten years into the future in ten weeks.
